age crop icing the subject for the
day, was discussed by all the mem
bcrs present. Milo Maize, Katlir
Corn, and the different varieties Of
Sorghum were recommended as
good for horses and cattle. Finders,
Potatoes and SchufaS were rec
commended as being excellent for
hogs. Crab grass, cut at the right

SInattering.

a scholar who has Il clear know
ledge Of anything can reproduce
that thing mentally. a scholar
that understand a problem can al
ways explain it. One who states o
fact in II confused manner has con
fused ideas concerning it. Not to
be able to state Il fact clearly, is us
ually not to know it.
TO know Il mathematical formula
is to know how to rccite it. re
know a ichcmical compound is to
be able to analyZc it into its com
poncnt parts and to distinguish
each element. a Machinists does
not know a steam engine until he
can put each piece in its proper
place.
Carlyle says: "Bc careful not to
stamp Il thing rs known before you
know it,"
"Count thing known only when
it is stamped on your mind, SO that
you may survey it on all sides with
intelligence"
Some teachers give their pupils
n little s~mattcring of everything.
They allow them to skip from one
branch Of study to another and
their heads are filled with superb
cial notions Of things and they may
seem universally knowing, when
they are very far out ofthc way of
true knowledge.

THE PROVINCE oF a JURY.

The NeWs says, Grecnvillc .juricS
always do their duty No proud
.cr boast can be made by any coun-
ty. The trial by jury is the 3ul-
wark OF liberty, but even this sys-
tenn, which is the pride OF English
speaking people, sometimes fails
to accomplish the desired results.
There is y tendency cropping out
occasionally in juries, to assume Il
greater responsibility than thc law
imposes upon them. Now and
then we see a body Of meR acting
as jurors, who openly and notori-
Giously disregard the law.
In purely mOnarclial forms Of
government, the same power that
makes an act, passes upon it
judiciaiIy and then proceeds to
execute it. This, almost invaria-
bly, leads to tyranny Of the deepest
dye; and when our democratic re-
public was founded, we were given
three distinct BRANCHES OF govern
mrnt, each having u separate work
and the beauty and stability Of the
whole, dependant upon the funda-
mental theory that the legislative
executive and judicial branches
shall forever stand apart.
IF jurors generally understood
and appreciated O fully what
they are called upon by the state
Ito do, we would have less cause to
complain at the poor administrn-
ton of outlaws. 1t IS not the prov
ince of q jury in determining the
guilt or innocence Of q man CHI arg
cd with crime to question the wis
dom orpolicy ola law, nor arc they
to determine the penalty. Others
are appointed to regulate these
matters and the jury has done its
whole duty after a careful invGsti-
cation is made as to whether the
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1887-04-27

law has been violated by the party
and a verdict rendered, solely upon
such Investigation. Whenever a.
community has one individual, who
on account Of influence, whether
from personal popularity, family
connection or wealth, al commit
crime and escape punishment, it is
n dangerous place to live. But,
bad as such Il state of affairs is, if
acOmmunity has one citizen who
has SO little influence from any
cause, that he al be convicted of
crime without sufficient evidence,
it is ten fold more dangerous. The
law knows no favoritcs. Al ideal
government is that which mctcs
out the Same penalty for tho same
oiIcnsc to all classes of citizens.

Ed. Teachers Department.
The first question suggested by
you in II educational Department
is onc that demands deep thought
and careful Investigation. "How
can the cordial cooperation Of pa
rents be best sccurcd?" After ten
successive years Of teaching, / ac-
knowledge my inability to answer
the question fully, yet ! may be
able to make II few suggestions.
My observation and experience
teaches me that the failure Of pa
rents to help their teachers has
been the chief cause Of deficiency
of the common schools and the
groundwork of opposition to the
common school system.
We frequently hear patrons rid
icUling tho common schools and
blaming teachers for the impcrfcc-
tons, vet they do not make the
least effort in aiding their teachers
to make the schools SUCCESS. n
stead of lending their help and in
hucuce in that direction. they work
with all their might and zeal in the
very opposite erection. Ihcy
teach their children to do as they
please, right or wrong, while at
school, disobey, annoy and perpleX
their teachers, and ale everlasting
ly getting up some little "nasty
trouble" in the school. These pa
irons can be found in every com
munity. am happy to say that
this class is not i'm ascendaucy in
this ncighborhood. How can we
secure the cordial cooperation of
our patrons? This question is all
important. Upon our success in
this particular depends in n great
measure the success Of our schools
andsthe happiness of our lives. AS
/ have tried several plans to solve
this question and feel very CRATE
that / have generally met with
success.

Prohibition.
~ NJ


The w. G.. n. U. has issued an
address to the Brewers, Distillcrs',
Wholesale and retail, and Saloon
Keepers ofthc United States. These
classes are addressed rs "brOthcrs"
and arc urged in the most tender
and pathetic manner to resist from
the business Of making and selling
Intoxicating liquors rs a drink.
We would be glad to maks some
extracts but must content ourScl-
YES with the closing lincs:-
"BrOthHrS, the end is near; the
doom Of the liquor traffic is sealed;
the clock of God has struck the
hour of the peoples dc~livcrancc.
You know this as well rs we do,
you confess it in your secret coun-
sells. Will you not come with us
in the great fight for Il clear brain
and q protective home? Will you
not Of free choice, 90 that which
must G long be done under com
pulsion of the VOX pOpuli, which
echoes the voX Del? For this we
caruc 'tly ask, for this we fcrvcntly
pray"
Will not the ladies OF the Laur-
ems Union see that this address is
properly distributed in this com
munity?
John Plowman in his Alamanack
for 1887, says, "POtS Of beer cost
many Il tear. Golden cups may
carry deadly draughts. Take no
roll from the brewers basket. Gull
tivatc your roses, but not on your
noses. Always drinking always
dry. Many II child is hungry be-
cause the brewer is rich. When
wine is in, wit is out. The more
you'll think, the less you'll! drink.
Often drunk and seldom sober falls
like leaves in October. Every sot
will go to pot"
The first case tf the violation Of
Atlanta'3 prohibitory law which
has boon triad by il state court was
tried last week by Judge Van Epps
of that city. The court ruled that
the law while permitting the sale
Of domestic wine, docs not allow
even this sold to be drunk on the
premises. Under this ruling the
defendant was convicted and fined
$1,000. The Georgia judges will
have to be changed to prevent pro-
hibitiOn prohibiting there.
The Poser high license bill, fix
ing the license in cities Of 100000
or moro people at $1,000, and in
smaller places at $500, has passed
both houses of the Minnesota Leg
islature and will probably become
n law.
The prohibition controversy wax
es warm in Great Britain. Attic
les attacking and sustaining the
movement appear in the leading
English reviews and newspapers.
The prohibitory amcndmentpas-
sed the Pennsylvania Legislature
on the second reading by II vote of
1876 to 81, and OF the final passage
by 100 to 6G.

What plan can we'Govige? I will
suggest that those schools in which
n sutlcioEG number Of pupils r
we'll advanced to organize 4 dobat-
ing society; the teacher acting as
president the d26aSaats selecting
the Judges from the patrons; invite
Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Uncles,
Aunts and Cousins, and havcG pub
lie debate on Friday afternoon at
least twice u month on some live
and important subject.
The boys and girls net in the de-
bate can engage in other exercises
suited to their capacities, such as
reading compositions, speech-mak-
ing and recitations.

cd will materially aid our teachers
in solving the question, "IIow can

FAIR PLAY DESIRED.

Some persons look upon the
contest which will occupy the at
tontion Of tho voters Of Laurcns
County in August next, as II test of
the temperance sentiment OF the
County; but to our mind they are
in error. We look upon the matter
as merely II political "trick." The
Murray bill was born ndnurturcu
as a political bill but it is up
on the measure itself and not the
originatorS that we base our obicc-
tiOnS.
There is u wide spread error in
some sections Of this County as to
the status Of The liquor traffic, in
case the bill is defeated. Some
over jealous ~ ill-informcd sup
portcrs Of the mcasu are using
the argument that if this bill is de-
fcatcd in August, liquor can be sold
indiscriminatcly throughout the
County. This is an absolute and
positive error. There is a general
law which which provides that no
liquor shall be sold in the state out
side of Incorporated towns and viii
lagos and the measure under con-
sidcration docs not in II event
repeal that law. If the Murray
Dill becomes law, then incorporated
towns and villages in Laurcns
County i'll not be allowed TO grant
license, but if it fails to become
law, then tho status of prohibition
IN Laurens county will remain pro
'ciscly as it is ct present, viz: no
liquor shall be old outside of in
corporatcd towns, but Incorporated
towns in this County can grant Ii
unless prohibited by special
statute or by the charter OF such
towns. At present the town of
Laurens is the only place whore
liquor can be sold in L]aurcns Coun-
ty, and if the bill is voted down,
Laurens will still be the only place
where licenses can be granted in
n County. If it shall become y
law, Laurcns is the only town cTec-
ted by it.
70 allow liquor to be sold ct w.
cry cross roads in the county would
be the greatest evil that could DOS
'sibly befall the agriculturalis s OF
this section Under such circum-
stances it would be impossible to
keep laborcrs on the farm in a CON
dition to work, and it would bring
disorder to Il whole agricultural
system. But Onc of the very
strongest arguments against the
bill is that experience in the past
has sho5n that "travclling bar
rooms," covered wagons
t1ourish only in prohibition
counties. We know that
when Laurens was "dry" these
Illicit retailers infested this County
to an alarming extent and even lc-
gal prosecutions could not drive
them away. But when Il mar can
go to Il town and buy openly, the
: wagons lose patronage and hence
: arc compelled to seek other fields.
If the people want the law, let
: them vote for it, but let no fair
minded man use &lch unjust argu-
mcnts in order to make votes. Let
it stand Or fall on lis merit.

corn is up. 1t is very desirable to
make forage of II good quality, that
each stalk should be circumstanced
so that it can make a little nubbin.
The land therefore should not be
too poo;. On very poor land even
with ample distance, corn fails to
shoot If tho weather is quite dry.
Plant then on good land or that
which has been manfred. Three
to five hundred pounds of cotton
seed meal broadcast on an acle and
narrowed in will suffice. Give suf-
iicicnt light ana air for the purpose
neutrality-suspicious., say in three and
four feet drills two to three grains
to the foot, Thick seeding will
make IL great deal offoragc OF rich
land, but it will be worth very lit
tic. Give two workings in rapid
succession with sweep soon after
it comes up. This is all that will
be needed if the land has been
properly prepared.
Lastly, SOW enough land to have
an abundance of forage to cut and
fee grccn i'll summer when past
urCs run low, bOth to horses and
COWS, as we'll rs to lay up for whit
or.
Prepare land and plant in same
way, some kailir corn, milo maize,
or dourrn corn, sowing seed petty
thickly in drill and thinning out
afterwards to II or two stalks cv-
cry foot Of fifteen inches. DO this
now. These will como through Il
prolonged drought better than
corn. May be also cut and matur-
ed hgrccn, or allowed to mature
seed, and these gathered and fed
like corn and the blades cured as
fodder. The dry stalks arc worth
little. A little carly amber cane
may also be started now for green
feed; cut after the seeds are in
dough state. The plant then is
sweetest and richest and makes
excellent ration, in part for mules
and COWS. 1t is not advisable to
curci it but feed green. For this
purpose successive planting may
be made from the last of April to
the first ofAugust.
